Report On The Reed, Stimson And Kelley Copper And Iron Banks Of Phelps County, Mo., Albert Hill Fay, Carlos E. Martinez Jan 1902

Report On The Reed, Stimson And Kelley Copper And Iron Banks Of Phelps County, Mo., Albert Hill Fay, Carlos E. Martinez

Bachelors Theses

"PRELIMINARY STATEMENT with reference to the formation of limonite and hematite, the principal iron ores of the Ozark District. Iron and copper in solution as sulphides, coming in contact with lime or magnesium carbonates, will be precipitated as pyrite or marcasite and chalcopyrite. Hence the origin of this class or ores. These will in time oxidize to magnetite or hematite, and these in turn will form limonite, and the copper sulphide, or chalcopyrite, is oxidized to the carbonates, malachite and azurite"--page 1.

Aluminum As A Commercial Conductor Of Electric Energy, George Edwin Lyman, Edward J. Morris Jan 1902

Aluminum As A Commercial Conductor Of Electric Energy, George Edwin Lyman, Edward J. Morris

Bachelors Theses

"In considering the adaptability of any metal to serve as a distributing agent of electrical energy, the investigation must shape itself along three lines, viz, - the electrical, the physical and the chemical properties which the metal may possess. Evidently a deficiency in any of these properties, if serious, will debar it from successfully coping in the market with its competitors. A metal may have excellent conductivity and its behavior electrically may be thoroughly satisfactory, but if it lacks strength, physically, or ability to resist the destructive forces of the atmosphere, chemically, it is obviously inadaquate sic to serve as …

Prospecting In Western Mexico, Theodore S. Delay Jan 1901

Prospecting In Western Mexico, Theodore S. Delay

Professional Degree Theses

"This article is dedicated and addressed to any man who contemplates a prospecting expedition in Mexico. I have made no attempt at a display of literary elegance, or scientific erudition. My aim has been to point out and explain such of the conditions of the business as are peculiar to Mexico. If any one, after having perused these pages, should find himself thereby the better able to cope with the difficulties of such an expedition, a rather unprofitable experience of the writer will have been not wholly fruitless"--page 31.

The Sinking Of Piers On Red River Bridge On Kansas City Southern Ry., Albert Spengler Jan 1901

The Sinking Of Piers On Red River Bridge On Kansas City Southern Ry., Albert Spengler

Bachelors Theses

"In September, 1899, began the work on the construction of the substructure for the Red River Bridge for the Kansas City Southern Railway at Index, Texas, ten miles north of Texarkana, Texas. The new substructure was located about one hundred feet up stream from the old one, consequently it was not necessary to maintain traffic during construction. The object of the new bridge was to replace a much lighter one, which was too light for the increased weight of rolling stock of the railroad company. The substructure consists of seven piers, including a pivot pier, and two abutments. The seven …

Heat Of Formation Of Slags, George P. Woodhall, Walter Adams Luther Jan 1901

Heat Of Formation Of Slags, George P. Woodhall, Walter Adams Luther

Bachelors Theses

"First it was intended to find out the number of heat units per gram of slag that each individual slag would require. The color and blending of the slag were also to be noted. Causes and any derivations that may appear. If any fixed law was visible it was thought to bring it forth. The percentage of iron oxide and calcium oxide was to be varied and the silicon to bear the same proportion in every case"--Object of Thesis, page 1.

The Determination Of The Fusing Point Of A Few Igneous And Metamorphic Rocks, Fred H. Perkins Jan 1900

The Determination Of The Fusing Point Of A Few Igneous And Metamorphic Rocks, Fred H. Perkins

Bachelors Theses

"There are two methods of arriving at the refractoriness of a rock. One is the physical, the other is the chemical. The physical methods attempt to determine it directly by subjecting it to heat, and the temperature obtained is registered by use of numerous methods, a type of each kind I will describe in this paper. The chemical methods attempt to arrive at the result by calculations based upon a chemical analysis, though one or more physical determinations have to be made as a basis for these calculations. As the former method is direct, my operations are based upon this …


The Mining & Construction Of A Smelter For The Production Of Zinc-White From Western Lead-Zinc Ores, Hector George Sylvester Anderson, V. B. Hinsch Jan 1900

The Mining & Construction Of A Smelter For The Production Of Zinc-White From Western Lead-Zinc Ores, Hector George Sylvester Anderson, V. B. Hinsch

Bachelors Theses

"On account of the high price of the old Dutch process of making white lead and the undesirability of sublimed white-lead as the bulk of the pigment, the use of zinc-white as an adulterant of the lead-white made by the old Dutch process is new extensively used by all paint manufacturers. The advantages of its use in conjunction with white-lead in the manufacture of white paints is the fact that it does not combine with sulphur as does white-lead itself. The specifications of the U. S. Light-house Dept. require 75% of zinc-oxide and 25% of white lead as a mixture. …
